This  speech  was  given  March  23,  1775,  at  St*  Johns  Church  in  Richmond,  Virginia,  and 
is  credited  with  having  singlehandedly  convinced  the  Virginia  House  of  Burgesses  to  pass 
a  resolution  delivering  the  Virginia  troops  to  the  Revolutionary  War.  In  attendance  were 
Thomas  Jefferson  and  George  Washington.  Reportedly,  the  crowd,  upon  hearing  the  speech, 
jumped  up  and  shouted, "To  Arms!  To  Arms!"  (Summary  from  Wikipedia)
